There was an older lady I gave $100 dollars to years ago because she gave me a story about how she was stuck here because her boyfriend had kicked her out and she needed to get home to Sask. Caught her buying booze with another old haggard looking dude, took my L but called her an asshole, lmfao.

More correctly, they are committing fraud.

Not every person is committing fraud of free will. "Forced child begging is a type of begging in which boys and girls under the age of eighteen are forced to beg through psychological and physical coercion." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trafficking_of_children#Child_begging

This is the politically correct police, stop where you are we have you surrounded. You have used dehumanizing language by using the term homeless. "Or consider the commonly used description of a person as “homeless.” An equity-focused alternative would be “a person experiencing homelessness." ama Another equity-focused alternative is unhoused. "The label of “homeless” has derogatory connotations. It implies that one is “less than”, and it undermines self-esteem and progressive change." https://www.ama-assn.org/system/files/ama-aamc-equity-guide.pdf https://www.unhoused.org/overview
